Papers with semi-supervised scenarios
Bootstrapping Neural Relation and Explanation Classifiers (2023.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | supervised approaches that use only rules to explain the outputs of the relation classifier are data hungry and expensive to obtain. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that self trains (or bootstraps) neural relation and explanation classifiers by iterating the outputs into rules and applying them to unlabeled text to produce new annotations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms the rule-based model on the TACRED dataset by 15 F1 points and performs comparatively with the prompt-based approach without an additional natural language inference component. |
Make Your Decision Convincing! A Unified Two-Stage Framework: Self-Attribution and Decision-Making (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing frameworks for explaining black-box model behavior are unreliable . large-scale pre-trained models often rely on superficial clues for predictions . |
| Approach: | They propose a unified two-stage framework that uses subsequences from the input text as a rationale to generate model decision. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves competitive results on five reasoning datasets and in semi-supervised scenarios. |
In the LLM era, Word Sense Induction remains unsolved (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing word sense induction methods rely on predefined sense inventories of arbitrary granularity and require labor intensive sense-annotated data. |
| Approach: | They propose to evaluate an LLM-based word sense induction method for English . they use data augmentation sources, corpus and lexicon, and semi-supervised scenarios to augment the data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method surpasses the previous SOTA system on a English set by 3.3%. |
Beyond Static Alignment: Adaptive Arbitration for Semantic Incongruence in Semi-Supervised Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for semantic incongruence in sentiment analysis are limited by label-limited settings. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for semi-supervised multimodal sentiment analysis that emphasizes stable cross-modal representations and reliable supervision. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods under label-limited settings. |
